Philosophy
Philosophy thread!
Even if you know nothing about philosophers, feel free to post here. To start this off, I'll just say that I'm mostly a nihilist.

I know that I'm perfectly capable of using Google, but I would hate to deprive you the opportunity to talk about it: define nihilism?

Re: Philosophy
There is no inherent meaning, purpose, or value to life and the universe in general. Any meaning, purpose, or value imposed upon them are purely abstract in nature, that is that they are fictions made by people.

Re: Philosophy
... That's less philosophy and more like objective truth.

I watched the majority of 8-bit Philosophy on youtube. Very educational XD
Are there any other similar series' that can educate troglodytes like myself?

Re: Philosophy
PBS Idea Channel combines philosophical thinking with modern entertainment. I fucking love it. Go watch their video on Attack on Titan for starters.

Oh god, yes. Transhumanism. I am so hard into that. I don't even understand why some people are so against it.

Re: Philosophy
Can I safely say that literally all of the regular members are Transhumanists?

Re: Philosophy
Man. If you're personality and memories are backed up into a computer, and then you die and they make a clone of you with that personality, is it still you or is it someone else who was exactly you? T.T I don't want my memories to live forever, I want ME to live forever.

Re: Philosophy
Thats why you wouldn't just upload your personality and memories. You upload your consciousness. You completely subvert your human body. You can then link your uploaded consciousness with a body, robotic of course, then if the body dies, you aren't really affected.

Re: Philosophy
All of that is based on the assumption that consciousness can be separated from the brain.

Science will find a way. Nodney has put it into my head that I can upload my conciousness into a Mr. T robot, and no one will take that away from me.

You know, I'd actually really REALLY like to hear your opinions and knowledge about philosophy, Thade. You just seem like the person who would know alot about this particular subject.

Re: Philosophy
Well, I'm more one for poetry, but I know a fair bit (mostly on the continental side of things). I read too much. Anyway, I'm rather a fan of the stoics, Nietzsche, the existentialists, the transcendentalists, Machiavelli, etc etc. However if you're gonna quiz me on Russell or Wittgenstein or something I'm totally clueless.
